For some Yankees, an All-Star break without much rest before doubleheader in Houston

The All-Star break isn’t much of a break for the Yankees.

Six All-Stars had to fly to Los Angeles for Tuesday’s game. The rest have to reassemble Wednesday at Yankee Stadium and then fly to Houston and meet up with those All-Stars.

The Yankees have a split doubleheader Thursday against the Astros, making up games that were postponed when the season started late because of the lockout.

Then the Yankees have to fly to Baltimore that night for a three-game series Friday through Sunday.

“We’re used to getting in in the middle of the night,” manager Aaron Boone said. “So, not ideal. But that’s part of it, too. The good thing is we’re coming out of a break and right behind the Baltimore series we have a day off before we come home.”

Their “home” work actually will begin with two away games against the Mets July 26 and 27.

Men of steal

Tim Locastro stole two bases in Sunday’s 13-2 win over Boston at Yankee Stadium, giving the Yankees 63 in 92 games. That matches their total for all of last season. They have been thrown out 14 times.

“It’s a priority of ours,” Boone said. “I love that it’s that number, meaning a high number. But it’s also a pretty high percentage I know, too. You want that to go hand-in- hand. We’ve done that.

“Hopefully we can continue to push that envelope because it’s helped us big-time, I think.”

Extra bases

The Yankees enter the break with a major league-leading 157 homers. Their pitching staff has a 3.08 ERA, the team’s lowest at the break since 1976 . . . Reliever Ron Marinaccio (right shoulder inflammation) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, allowing a solo homer and fanning two in one inning against Louisville.
